When it comes to adaptive behavior or learning, most species will generally learn precisely what they need to when they need to learn it, pain and suffering is simply the amount of information entering the brain at one time. Thus, the man in blacks approach with hosts is almost like forcing the depuration process by forcing their "mistakes" (which in life usually implicate certain death). Unlike cells, sentient creatures do not "automatically" she'd beliefs as they do cells, in fact the more fundamental the belief the harder it is to error correct because you're taking more serious axe swings at your moral foundations. The continuity of all organisms rest on a delicate balance between growth and decay, for humans this can even apply on a psychological level just as one discards old obsolete cells, one must also attend to discarding old beliefs which no longer serve in their long term interests. Death is not really just the conclusion of life, it exists before during and after the duration of life. I feel like the "death" MIB deals to the hosts are more than just wrath and malevolence, it's almost like a purifying process. In terms of symbolism, William became the conduit of death - a force of nature, and arguably the only true enemy of a God like Ford so it makes sense that everything down to his noose-like tie is black. The details of the man in black's figure do not matter, so long as he is shown to have a regular body, only his face is depicted in color. Westworld is William's true home - he says, "in many ways, I was born here." Here, on his personal journey into night, he says, "This time, I'm never going back."īlack is a neutral color in drama, it represents that which is relevant but not pertinent. It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black."įading away is exactly what he set out to do in season 1. " Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts/ Right back where we started." Over the years, he kept returning to the park, unable to "face the facts" according to Logan - that Dolores is a robot, nothing more: Worried you were out there alone, afraid. Good old William couldn't get you out of his head. William takes on the full weight and burden of his knowledge his own memories "paint him black," changing him into what Emily calls a "dark star." Knowledge of past events, or memory, is a gift he wanted Dolores to acquire. Archetypically, black represents knowledge - not necessarily evil - while white signifies innocence, or more accurately, inexperience. her mind is a prison.Īfter the pain of "losing" Dolores - realizing she's trapped in her loop, stuck in a meaningless narrative, William switches to Black Hat, and becomes the Man in Black. "I see a red door and I want it painted black" -what's the point of all this splendor if the one I love can't see it? Literally, "What Door?" She can't see it. Taking their loss into yourself and being consumed by it - because it feels immensely unfair to do otherwise. It's about the guilt of still living life in all its realness and beauty while your loved one cannot experience it. But it's also about the pain of watching someone you love struggle with depression, and be plunged into a world without color, without meaning. It's widely believed "Paint it Black" is about coping with the death of a loved one.
